He is the teether from hell. 6 months old, with two bottom teeth. Top teeth appear to be pending but hass had awful teething symptoms on and off for weeks. I would say that he has some form of painkiller, calpol or nurofen every week, sometimes every day for a week (not up to the maximum doses, more confined to nightime - maybe going to bed on nurofen and calpol if he wakes in obvious distress). I am also using bonjela/teething powders etc in conjunction with painkillers. I'm a bit concerned he's having it too often, but it really seems to help. Can babies be given painkiller too much?
